So now I have just 58 to go. I didn't even take my GPS with me... I just used my geo-instincts and it was indeed the first place I looked. Might need to get out for a few next weekend if I want 1000 before the end of summer.

SallyC and I took a long weekend to go to the coast just to find caches for the DeLorme Challenge. Over 1000 miles of driving led us through 29 different map sections... 17 of which I needed giving me 51 of 76. All of the 25 sections I need are east of I-5... its going to be a lot of driving to complete.

We concentrated on driving and crossing off map sections so we only found 22 caches. But we took the time to stop and see uncle Duck in Lakeside, eat a lot, climb the Astoria Column, and look at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant before it was imploded.

Well last night was poker night again. I gained some chips early and never looked back. I came out $51 ahead... I could have done better as I stayed in a few too many hands. I tried my best to play a bit more aggresive... will have to work on that.

Rogue Community College is putting on a poker tournament this weekend, but it has a $100 buy in. The money is for charity and non-cash prizes are given for the top 3 spots. I'm probably going to go geocaching instead but would be pretty fun...
